Chapter 120: Rice Planting

When I arrived at the corner where the tricycle was parked, Jiang Zhi and the three of them hadn't come back yet, so I hid in the shadows and waited. After a while, Jiang Zhi and the others came back, and when they saw me waiting safely by the tricycle, Jiang Zhi let out a breath, as if he had let go of the heart that had been hanging.

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, the things are gone, let's go back quickly." ”

When I went back, Li Cheng was still riding, I sat on the car and asked if they were still going well inside?

The rare Li Shanqing took the initiative to speak, saying: "It's very smooth, it's that someone has been absent-minded, and after entering, he went straight to the goal, and he didn't even look at the other things in the warehouse, and he went out after the things were in hand." ”

Jiang Zhi was not embarrassed at all when he heard Li Shanqing conditioning him, and said, "Everything is there, what do we lack, and we will have a chance to come back in the future." Xiaoyi is my daughter-in-law, she is outside by herself, can I not worry? You haven't had a daughter-in-law for too long, and you can't even experience the feeling of worrying, after you go back, we have to hurry up and find you a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, then you will know this feeling. ”

Li Shanqing was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiang Zhi's words, and then he came back to his senses, and he was a little embarrassed by what Jiang Zhi said.

"You're almost, your daughter-in-law is still there."

"It's okay, my daughter-in-law cares more about this than I do, don't you see that her eyes are shining when she looks at you now?"

I listened to what Jiang Zhi said, quickly straightened my expression, put away all the gossip on my face, and said to Li Shanqing seriously: "Brother Li, you are not young at this age, An An is so old." When are you going to find another mother for An An? ”

Li Shanqing heard me really ask about this, and he was very helpless and pretended not to hear.

I won't spare him, and I'm finally seizing the opportunity. You have to take advantage of this time to ask more insiders.

"Brother Li, what do you like, tell me, I'll give you some heart."

"Brother Li, do you have any requirements for your other half? Do you want a big girl? Is it okay for a divorced little daughter-in-law? ”

"Is it okay to take a child?"

……

We discussed it, and instead of leaving the county from the way we came, we chose another way, and we wanted to go to the county's commercial street. Some shops on the commercial street have already opened for business, and a few of us went in to have a look. They are all selling daily necessities, and some of them are collecting money, that is, the items sold are very high-priced. For example, the original 1 yuan bowl. Now it costs 15 yuan, and the original 3 yuan to get toilet paper now costs 40 yuan, which is basically 15 times more.

Then I think I've earned it. Hurriedly pretended to take out the money from the bag. I bought a few large bags of toilet paper, thinking about going back and giving a point to the eldest sister and the second sister.

Then we rode the tricycle back to the mountain village, before entering the village, Jiang Zhi deliberately took out an oil drum from the ring, put it on the tricycle, and said that it was for the big guys to see, and we didn't find much diesel, just a bucket.

On the way home. Several villagers saw us and saw the oil drums on the car. However, most of them looked at it and pulled it down, only a few people specifically asked about the situation in the county, and Jiang Zhi answered truthfully.

I think that now they don't think much when they see this barrel of diesel, and when they want to use diesel, they will know that diesel is not easy to get, and if they want to buy diesel from the right road, they have to open a letter of introduction in the village like they did in the seventies and eighties, and then exchange it for food, and then they will definitely be a mess if they see us pull such a large barrel of diesel back again.

After returning home, Jiang Zhi asked his sister-in-law to go to the village chief's house to borrow a tractor with the grain on his back, and let the sister-in-law go too, mainly because Jiang Zhi had never driven a tractor, and the borrowed tractor had to be driven back by the sister-in-law first.

After a while, my sister-in-law drove the tractor to our yard, Jiang Zhi jumped off the tractor with him, and they began to get busy. First fill the tractor with diesel, and then the sister-in-law cleaned up the iron plow behind the tractor, and finally the sister-in-law gave them a simple driving training, these people are old drivers, and the brother-in-law demonstrated, they understood that in fact, driving a tractor is simpler than driving a car.

After watching them drive a tractor, I found the eldest sister and the second sister who came to the greenhouse to serve the rice seedlings, and distributed the loot I bought today to everyone, and then talked about planting rice. The eldest sister and the second sister now say that the rice is a set, listen to me to start plowing tomorrow, to plant the seedlings in the greenhouse into the paddy field as soon as possible, are very agreeable, said that the seedlings have grown big enough, just these two days can do the preparation work before transplanting, what ventilation and refining seedlings, what squatting seedlings strong roots, etc., said that after transplanting rice seedlings, the roots are good, and the green is fast.

I told them if they understood it, but it was good if they did.

On the second day, our family set out and started a vigorous spring ploughing operation. Under the guidance of my sister-in-law, it took two days for these novices to completely renovate all the land.

Our family has a total of 18 acres of paddy fields, plus 12 acres of paddy fields in my sister-in-law's house, a total of 30 acres, next to our family is the second sister's next door to Aunt Guo's land, next to the little sister-in-law's land is Aunt Qin's field, when we plough the land, we have ploughed out more than three or four acres of land for them, Jiang Dad said to see if our seedlings are enough, if there is excess, the remaining seedlings will be divided between the two of them, after all, when we first came, they gave our family a lot of help, and our family then conditions permitted, but also to give back appropriately, so that there are contacts, and the neighbors can live for a long time.

The little brother-in-law disagreed when we helped his family plow the land, saying that he would rush to plow the land after raising the seedlings himself, and he didn't need to plow the land now, Jiang Zhi didn't be polite to the little brother-in-law, and directly told him that their family didn't need to raise seedlings this year, and the seedlings in our greenhouse were enough for the 30 acres of land. My sister-in-law's family, like ours, began to transplant rice seedlings the day after tomorrow.

People say that one acre of seedlings, ten acres of fields, our family seedlings are so dense, planting 30 acres of paddy fields must be enough.

It can be seen from the look of the little uncle, he is a little hesitant, not quite dare to be the same as us, take the family's 12 acres of paddy fields and mess around with us, after all, he watched from the side when we raised seedlings, knowing how unprofessional we are, and also knowing that the seedlings in our greenhouse are planted too densely, although the seedlings have reached the tillering period, but each seedling is relatively thin and small, he should be afraid that he will not be able to live after transplanting, and then want to replant, it will be even later, and the harvest of rice this year is even more unguaranteed.

Jiang Zhi didn't give him time to hesitate, and directly asked his aunt to settle the matter, and the aunt trusted Jiang Zhi's nephew very much, and heard Jiang Zhi say that the seedlings we raised also had a share of her family, and even said yes, saying that they would plant seedlings with our family.

The little sister-in-law saw that the overall situation had been decided, so he stopped struggling, and asked Jiang Zhi and a few of them to take hoes and shovels to the ground to release water, and he went to the greenhouse in the backyard to guide everyone how to raise seedlings and prepare for rice planting.

After plowing the fields and drying the paddy water for another day to let the mud settle, we officially started planting the seedlings. Aunt Qin's family and Aunt Guo's family, who have a good relationship with our family in the village, came to help, and a few young men who got along well with Jiang Zhi also came to help plant seedlings.

Except for the second brother-in-law, who is still unable to work, Jiang's mother, Qu's mother and Aunt Liang cook at home, and the other adults and children have come to the field to learn how to plant rice with their sister-in-law, after all, we will be farmers here in the future, and we still have to learn from scratch about farming.

Basically, one hand with two novices, we all went down to the paddy field to learn to plant seedlings, throwing seedlings is too difficult for us people, and the seedlings are now very precious and cannot be wasted, so we all chose a more tired way to plant seedlings.

The sister-in-law first threw a small bundle of seedlings from the greenhouse in the morning into the paddy field, and then bent over, picked up a bundle of seedlings, held a handful of seedlings in his left hand, and quickly began to transplant seedlings with his right hand, while planting seedlings with his right hand, the thumb and middle finger of his left hand quickly "divided the seedlings" from a handful of seedlings at the same time, and retreated while inserting, and the depth of transplanting was controlled between 2-3 cm.

The sister-in-law explained the key points of rice planting to us while planting rice, and we learned to do it on the side, trying to echo the requirements of the sister-in-law. Among these people, the eldest brother-in-law learned the fastest and planted the best seedlings, which was highly praised by the younger brother-in-law.

After we all practiced planting a few rows, we dispersed and started planting rice in earnest. Just look at a paddy field, more than 20 people of all sizes are bent over and busy.

After I finished inserting a small piece, I got up and pounded my sore waist, looked at the crooked seedlings in front of me, and truly realized the difficulty of farmers, and how tired I was from farming.

Next to me is Hanhan, he is wearing a pair of small water pants today, squatting in the paddy field is still planting seedlings seriously, looking at the seedlings in front of him, although they are a big difference with what I planted, but they are neater than me.

"With, tired or not? When you are tired, go to the edge of the field and rest for a while. Then there's some water, you go drink some. "I was very distressed to see such a young child going to the fields to work.

"I'm not tired, it's okay, Mom, go and rest for a while, I'll be able to finish this piece in a while." Hanhan listened to me call him, but he still squatted on the ground, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his little hands full of muddy water, but the sweat didn't wipe off, and his little face was spent

"Hey, Hanhan, don't touch it, you're all a little flower." The second sister Qu next to Hanhan saw Hanhan's face, laughed and hurried over, pulled out the towel she was carrying, and wiped Hanhan's face clean.

An An and Xuanxuan, the children, laughed when they saw Hanhan's little flower face, and An An also recited "Compassion for Nong" in response to the occasion, "On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops fall into the soil, who knows ......", and the field was filled with children's laughter in an instant.
